Detailed Changes:
================
- ------- ChangeLog Entries from mule-packages/mule-base/ChangeLog -------
2007-07-29 Norbert Koch <viteno(a)xemacs.org>
* Makefile (VERSION): XEmacs package 1.52 released.
2007-07-29 Aidan Kehoe <kehoea(a)parhasard.net>
* fsf-compat-unicode.el:
* fsf-compat-unicode.el (and):
* fsf-compat-unicode.el (fsf-compat-ccl-program):
* fsf-compat-unicode.el (fsf-compat-init-mule-unicode-charsets):
Shifting the arguments to mule-to-unicode 7 bits was appropriate,
but for redisplay r1 needs to be the highest octet, r2 the lowest,
of the 16-bit UCS code.
text-conversion-error is not available on 21.4, so it turns out
the code fails in a more ugly way thatn I wanted there.
2007-07-27 Aidan Kehoe <kehoea(a)parhasard.net>
* fsf-compat-unicode.el:
* fsf-compat-unicode.el (fsf-compat-ccl-program): New.
* fsf-compat-unicode.el (fsf-compat-init-mule-unicode-charsets):
Use fsf-compat-ccl-program, which better reflects the CCL
behaviour in force at the time it was compiled. Also move the CCL
program constant to actually shifting eight bits at a time.
Installing These:
================
Manually:
- --------
1) Download the packages that you want to install from:
/ftp.xemacs.org:/pub/xemacs/beta/experimental/packages/
2) Unpack them to: [1]
/usr/local/lib/xemacs/xemacs-packages/
3) Re-start XEmacs.
Using XEmacs Package Tools (XEmacs 21.[245].x):
- ----------------------------------------------
1) Tools -> Packages -> Add Download Site -> Pre-Releases
2) Tools -> Packages -> List and Install
3) Select the packages you wish to install (there are brief
instructions at the bottom of the packages buffer).
4) Packages -> Install/Remove Selected
5) Re-start XEmacs.
Using XEmacs Package Tools (XEmacs 21.1.14):
- -------------------------------------------
1) Options -> Manage Packages -> Add Download Site -> Pre-Releases
2) Options -> Manage Packages -> List and Install
3 - 5) As per XEmacs 21.[245].x.

problem with viper mode in tty xemacs
16 years, 8 months
zooko
Folks:
I couldn't send this report with "M-x report-xemacs-bug", so I'm
sending it this way.
If I am in viper mode, then when I try to cut or copy a line (with
"dd" or "yy" VI commands), the minibuffer announces:
"Symbol's value as variable is void: mouse-track-rectangle-p"
I suspect that this might be partially because there is no mouse,
since I'm doing this over and ssh connection, under GNU screen.
Unfortunately, if I then do "M-x report-xemacs-bug", I get into a
very bad state where neither "C-x" nor "M-x" work, so I cannot do
anything, and I eventually have to "kill -15" my xemacs process from
another screen.
Regards,
Zooko

Re: XEmacs doesn't support windows-1252

Yes, but you don’t want to do that; it would mean disabling
set-language-unicode-precedence list, for one. For what you’re looking for,
it is enough to put a call to that function in startup.el, after the call to
init-mule-at-startup and before the window system initialisation code. For
reference, the patch I tested that with is below; I tested it with an XEmacs
that had a windows-1252 coding system with the non-Latin-1 characters mapped
into the jit-ucs-charset-0 character set.
(If you’re planning on distributing code with that Windows-1252 coding
system, by the way, you will also want the change in
http://mid.gmane.org/18091.3408.152729.823883＠parhasard.net )
It looks like Ben’s original design intended to set the language Unicode
precedence list during the language environment setup, which would have, to
a certain extent, avoided this problem. But not for the specific characters
you’re talking about.

Well, thanks to your earlier suggestion for just-in-time mapping the Unicode
code point support is much better right now than it was. And I hope to
commit another patch soon that preserves invalid UTF-8 sequences on
decoding, which avoids the problem where Latin-1 files can be corrupted if
they are opened as UTF-8 and then a small change is made. See
http://mid.gmane.org/18082.9316.913823.211586＠parhasard.net .
But yes, for adding real support for things like shaping, bidirectional
text, the Unicode properties, composite characters and so on, using Unicode
as an internal encoding is the only practical thing.

Huh? I can get you (and the other beta testers) to test stuff in the trunk
*because it’s in the trunk*. Branches are close in spirit to posting a patch
to the list without committing it, and you see clearly exactly how often
that provokes responses that indicate that someone has applied the relevant
patch; I would be surprised if it happened twice in the last three years.

The tests would be necessary. Committing the changes to a branch would not
change that, no more than putting Xft and GTK on their own branches
magically made them good code.

Why I've switched to emacs
16 years, 8 months
Neal Becker
Not flamebait.
I'm frustrated by some slowdowns in xemacs. I'm using
Value: "21.5 (beta28) \"fuki\" XEmacs Lucid"
This is on fedora f7 x86_64.
The problem is, a number of operations are _ridiculously_ slow. Primarily,
this is reading a directory in dired. Also, starting shell.
This is not a new problem, but has been true for approximately 1-2 years.
Here is my config:

Yes. The patch for Windows coding systems that you just requested, I
think. That file has been "mule-ccl" since at latest 2001.

delete-frame in presence of virtual desktops
16 years, 8 months
Skip Montanaro
I use gnuclient as my EDITOR for tools like mozex and cvs/svn commit message
editing. I also use a virtual desktop environment. My main XEmacs frame is
typically in one of those desktops, Firefox in another and Thunderbird in a
third. If I'm not careful, when I go to close a gnuclient session
(delete-frame) XEmacs refuses to delete the last visible frame. There are
other frames, they are just in other virtual desktops. Given that
(delete-frame) is written in C I didn't see any easy way around this. If I
manage to call it with a FORCE arg of t it seems like it will want to kill
the session altogether. I'm running 21.5.28, but I've seen this same
behavior with earlier versions of XEmacs as well (at least 21.4.x).

That’s a non-sequitur. I can do anything I want with the code on my hard
disk, too; testing every change that has anything to do with character
encoding in-depth, four separate times is tedious, error-prone and mostly
useless--since users in general do not care about the character
representation of their editor, and they use whatever their distro ships
with--there too.

Right. Currently it’s no longer dumped. I intend to rename mule-ccl.el to
ccl.el, which will enable code that works with GNU Emacs (where the file is
called ccl.el and isn’t dumped) to work; once this is done w3m should work
too.

I suspect it’s not the only package that will have problems with this.
